My friend had one with a 6000+ so idk about the OCing but he did run two HD 2900XT's on it so you should be good on the crossfire. Idk check ASUS's site about the phenom, I know they had an update to add the 9500/9600's tho.

Asus support sucks and I hate it. On hold for more than 45 minutes now. Somebody answered and asked my phone number so a tech will call me. Will they really?
Questions I have:
Beta bios on website support Phenom
48xx card CF support.

Wicked motherboard! I have one, and it will do 365FSB and more with a Brisbane.

How is the audio and LAN, see people on egg complain about it (ofcourse I can't take it 100% true). My thought was to replace the Abit with some cheap board and then later do a full overhaul. But wife said just do the whole thing now. so just ordered the Biostar TForce 8200 board.

This one being PCI-E 1.1, not native AM2+ and not sure about future procs I decided to go with the Biostar.

Damn it, now that I am hearing from you I am mad. But you know I might not even go with CF at all.

I had no problems with the audio and LAN, worked better than my P5K-E. My complaint is that the board is very, very RAM picky. Get the right hardware combo, and the 580X will explode. My Corsair would stop at 298FSB, stick my Crucials in...BAM, 365+

BTW, mine was very easy to OC, all I did to get into the 300's was increase the NB voltage, and drop the multipliers and RAM. Most other settings were left on auto.

Anyway the Biostar is coming in today. I will see if it atleast clocks like the Abit (this one is a cool customer keeps going like the E bunny, but bad luck stuck and hopefully replaces that one for me). If it doesn't clock well I will try the Asus, problem is I only have until tomorrow night to finish the build, test, OC and clean up because we are having guests.

And oh did I mention, I got the Free Sempron 3400 proc too with the biostar mobo. Thats going to be my shunting proc he he.

8200 clocks nicely so you should do quite well with that setup and smoke the 3400 for us

Just finished the build with the Biostar TForce 8200A. Seems to be a good board. Clocked my 5600 same as my Abit did, not a drop more. The bios is so fu..ng wierd, need some practice to get some OC in this bios.
